Treating Cardiac Arrhythmia with CARTO System 

The treatment of cardiac arrhythmias varies depending on the types and the seriousness of any underlying heart condition. 

 

The treatment may range from medication to more advanced surgical procedures. However, some patients who are treated with medication may need long-term medication therapies and side effects may include low blood pressure, slow heart rates, blurred vision, thyroid problems, or even heart failure. As a result, doctors recommend the latest radiofrequency ablation technology as an alternative treatment.

 

The integration of the electrophysiology (EP System) and the three-dimensional magnetic navigation mapping systems called the CARTO System allows faster, better, and more effective treatment for heart rhythm disorders. The success rate, depending on the seriousness of heart disease, can be up to 95% in patients with moderate symptoms, and 70% in severe cases. Since the EP system and CARTO System are non-fluoroscopic electro-anatomical techniques, patients are safe from X-ray exposure and doctors can effectively and accurately perform diagnostic tests and treatments.

 

Innovative Diagnostic Technologies and Treatments 

Our Heart Centre offers innovative diagnostic technologies and advanced treatments, which enable specialists to perform faster and finest coronary artery evaluation for patients with coronary artery disease.

• Rotablator: The most advanced technology used to pulverize hardened plaque within a coronary artery of coronary heart disease patients. The rotablator treats coronary artery disease by breaking the calcium into tiny pieces and disintegrating the blockage. Even patients with symptomatic total coronary occlusion can be treated with rotablation without having to undergo surgery.
• High Speed 128 Slices CT Scan: An advanced technology that helps physicians detect the potential of coronary artery disease.
• Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS): The latest technology that allows physicians a more complete and accurate assessment by offering a real-time tomographic- a 360-degree view of the arterial wall from tiny instruments inside the coronary artery.

 

Our services include : 

• Ankle-brachial index screening device (ABI): A measurement of the blood pressure in the lower legs compared to the blood pressure in the arms to indicate the risk of peripheral arterial disease
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): A measurement of the electrical activity of the heart
• Exercise Stress Test: A screening method used to test the effect of exercise on your heart
• Echocardiography/ECHO: The use of echocardiograms, ultrasounds of the heart, to effectively diagnose potential cardiac conditions
• Holter monitor: A continuous monitoring of a heart condition with a portable ECG device
• A diagnostic of heart disease with a CT 128 Slice

Ramkhamhaeng Hospital Cardiology Centre offers advanced cardiac care with services like cardiac catheterization, PTCA & stent, arrhythmia treatment with CARTO, EP & radiofrequency ablation, bypass and minimally invasive surgeries, pacemaker implants, and innovative diagnostics like rotablators, CT scans, and IVUS.
